SCHSL reverses a ruling..........
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2014 12:03 pm
This is an action that will, imho, have major repercussions. Remembering back in 2002 (I think...working from memory), NW and Marlboro Country were both banned from the playoffs due to fighting. There were 6 players from Marlboro County suspended and 1 from NW. Video evidence completely negated the argument that the SCHSL presented as their reason for upholding the playoff ban on NW, meaning NW was not allowed in the playoffs that year.
I AM NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE GC ISSUE AS THAT WAS NOT ABOUT FIGHTING.
This year, Camden and Dreher had a major fight and both teams were banned from the playoffs. Upon appeal, both were reinstated. I looked for the article that I saw last night, which I cannot find today, which stated the reason for the reversal was that the penalty was supposed to be against the individual and not against the team. That is 180 deg different from the ruling to keep NW out of the playoffs.
2009, Summerville and Stratford had a fight and neither team was banned from the playoffs.
Inconsistencies in decisions always make the next ruling always appear more "questionable".
